Minor SPOILERS.

Alright, the game's stuck at a cutscene - when you load the save, you'll go through a cutscene with a guy at a desk, then a cutscene where some people arrive and they go meet with them, then what seems to be a flashback of the main character when he was small. The game gets stuck here, when the flashback appears to pan out to the back, and the camera turns and focuses on the main character, with a spotlight on what appears to be him at a younger age:
   
Anyone wanna help out? Saved on disc 1, just before the cutscene starts. The game doesn't actually hang; if you frameskip the speed does go up, but nothing's happening and it doesn't respond to input.

I tried loading from the save (instead of using a savestate), seems to show a few extra frames of animation in the previous cutscene (ball doesn't get stuck, you'll know if you watch it), but it still stops at the same place.

Here's the memory card:
  memcard.zip (Size: 14.53 KB / Downloads: 21)
(there's also a 2x completed game of Front Mission 3 and an aborted Hoshigami save on it, you can ignore those)

I'm aware the next save opportunity will be a long way away from that and I'll miss out on the story ... if you can send me a savestate that starts immediately after that scene it would be great. Or, hell, just take pictures of the dialog and post here

Btw US NTSC version.

Nevermind, I figured it was an emulator issue - using pSX solved the problem. I still feel ePSXe is my favourite emu

I'm leaving the memcard download there. It's mostly useless except for the Front Mission 3 save - if you load it, it will start like a New Game+ (the main character and his friend keeps their skills). You can try the Xenogears or Hoshigami saves, but I doubt anyone plays the latter, and the former is much more fun played yourself. I'm just about... 10 hours into the game? Something like that.

Problem solved ~ so happy

If u continue using ePSXe expect more crashes.
Anyway i've beaten Xenogears using ePSXe though have to copy saved file from PSXeven as soon as it crashed.

Yeah, it seems Xenogears is one of the few games it dislikes. Oh well. pSX + ePSXe = double barreled action

I was going to say "ghey window frame" but forget it, you're a girl anyway.

Fullscreen mode may be fine for old fuddy-duddies like you, but this girl multitasks

Edit: found another section where ePSXe stops, it's in disc 2. The crap thing is, pSX also randomly stops at FMVs, and there's one here. Gonna try after work today.

Edit 2: ePSXe got past it somehow when I tried again. Using pSX's debug feature showed some sort of I/O error, I guess it had problems reading my cd :/
